And dying to see how bad Ohio State beats down Washington with it being Urban Myers last game
Either Notre Dame or Clemson will be exposed during their match-up. Both have not really had any major tests, so I’m curious to see who prevails. Other than the match-up between the final two teams in the playoff I’m looking forward to the LSU vs UCF game. I wonder will there be an argument for another championship if UCF wins.
Notre Dame chooses to play five ACC teams every season for a reason. I sort of have a city bias with Notre Dame because WR Miles Boykin is from my hometown of Joliet, IL.
